Pacwa said he began hearing talk of conversions to Christianity around 2005 on Al Jazeera Television, the Arabic news satellite TV channel with 80 bureaus around the world. “They were reporting on the mass conversions of Muslims—as many as 6-8 million—in sub-Saharan, Africa, and they have repeated the warning every year,” he said. “I’ve confirmed it with Africans I know who have told me again and again about conversions in places like Nigeria, Uganda, Mali … that’s why Boko Haram has become so active. They are actually quite scared and trying to terrorize. But the very act of terrorizing people has ended up with people becoming more disgusted with Islam.”

Bad Public Relations

The violence of Islamic terrorists has made for bad PR, according to Pacwa. For instance, he recalled hearing someone on African TV say: “Al-Qaida attacks Americans by blowing up our embassies but we Africans are the ones that die in the attacks.” He suspects that Islam is at the beginning of a collapse, likening increased terrorism to the supernova stage where stars burn brightest just before they burn out.

Pacwa gave recent examples of heinousness retribution for rejecting Islam. “Not long ago I read about a boy who was a slave that snuck out to pray on Good Friday and was crucified for it,” he said. “I also heard about two Filipino maids that were caught with the New Testament and beheaded.”

Americans caught practicing Christianity in Muslim countries are usually expelled but according to Pacwa, it’s much different for citizens. “Fridays after the noon prayers is the day they cut off hands and heads from thieves, adulterers—women only—and people who commit blasphemy, and that would include converting to Christianity.”

Conversions Spreading

Yet, despite such risks, Pacwa said that mass conversions are happening even in very fundamentalist countries. There is rapidly growing number of conversions especially on the edges of the Muslim world in the western and southern parts of Africa, he said. “Africa is now growing predominantly Christian despite crackdowns,” Pacwa said.

Some of the noteworthy countries he mentioned include Iran, reported to have 3 million Christians, and Indonesia with reports of 2 million a year converting. (Here is a video of a Muslim Indonesian family that converted, explaining that they now pray to Allah as Father, Son—Jesus is called Isa—and Holy Spirit.)

“In Mongolia, the president opened the country to Christians and there’s even an archbishop,” Pacwa said. “They built a Catholic school there too. If I was younger, I would have gone.” He said that the desire for a Western education was the impetus to open up the country to the Catholic Church.

Mongolia now has around 1,000 Catholics and three churches. “It has gone from a mission in 1991-2003 to a prefect apostolic which means they have a bishop, although it is not yet formally a diocese,” Pacwa said. “They have had their first native Mongolian ordained a priest and there are three Mongolian seminarians.”

There are even conversions happening in many strict Muslim countries, according to Pacwa. He did not want to go on record with particulars for fear of increased retribution. Mass conversions are also being reported among refugees that are filling up the Christian churches left empty by Europeans. Many wonder if those are authentic conversions or just a response to improving their chances for amnesty, but time will tell.

Signs of this conversion are showing up in the U.S. too, Pacwa said. “I was about to celebrate Mass at a Maronite church in San Diego and I said hi to a man who introduced himself as Achmad. I asked if he was a Christian. He said: ‘Yes, I was recently baptized.’ He said he from Morocco. Christians do not have the name Ahmad—that’s a form of Mohammad.”

Source of Conversions

How are so many conversions taking place in oppressive countries where proselytizing can bring a death sentence? “A large number of Muslims are receiving visions of Jesus and the Blessed Virgin Mary that has led them to convert,” Pacwa said. “Many of these stories can be seen online.”

Another big source of conversions, according to Pacwa, is through Father Peter (Butros) Zakariam, a Coptic Orthodox priest exiled from Egypt known as the most wanted man in the Muslim world. He does a TV show every Friday, which is broadcast to 60 million Arabs, and a six-hour internet discussion show every Tuesday and Thursday. There are also many videos on the internet of him boldly proclaiming Christianity and denouncing Islam.

“The Muslims have a price on his head—$60 million,” Pacwa said. “He’s in hiding but moves around. He keeps producing these TV shows and attacks Islam because he is brilliant in his knowledge of the Quran and he is fearless.”

Albion, Theresa H et al, Your comments were in response to Lyle, defender of ISIS. who previously tried to justify violence against Christians in Egypt. Mohammed promoted a fake religion of his own creation either by delusion or fabrication claiming that he received revelations delivered by the Angel Gabriel. He spread this religion by violence and coercion,He particularly targeted Jews and Christians because they failed to live up to his expectations of conversion to Islam. ISIS in their violence against a variety of religions including the Sufi Muslims today reflects the kind of violence used to spread Islam during the first centuries. This violence not only drove Christians out of the Holy Land, it later expelled Christians from Constantinople and threated Christianity in Europe. The 1565 siege of Malta by Muslim Ottoman Turks threatened the existence of Roman Catholicism. It was not until the October 1571 battle of Lepanto, the largest naval battle in Western history, that violent Muslim expansionism was put in check. The victory is celebrated on October 7th with the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. It was won through the intercession of Our Lady.

Theresa H. Yes, Rome became the centre of Christianity in the sense that Sts Peter and Paul ended their lives there, a centre that at that time was the hub of an empire that dominated all the lands along the Mediterranean. Nevertheless, at that time Christianity grew and expanded more rapidly in the eastern part of the Roman Empire than in the western part that included the city of Rome. Moreover, while Christians were being persecuted in Rome, in the eastern part of the empire Christianity fared a little better. Therefore, for the first five or six hundred years A.D. Christianity flourished in the Middle East and North Africa until Muslims from the Arabian peninsula conquered these lands. By then, Christianity began to spread throughout the rest of Europe from Rome.

Posted by Theresa H on Tuesday, Nov, 28, 2017 12:10 PM (EST):

Absolutely right, Manny! The Middle East and North Africa comprised the Christian heartland in the first six centuries A.D., before the European Continent became Christian and before Islam emerged from the Arabian peninsula and spread throughout the Middle East and North Africa BY THE SWORD.
Consider some of the great saints of the early Church: St Augustine of Hippo (modern Algeria), St Cyprian of Carthage (modern Tunisia), St Basil the Great, St Nicholas of Myra (both from modern Turkey), St Isaac THE SYRIAN, etc.
It took centuries even after the establishment of Islamic rule for the Christians of those regions to convert en masse to Islam. Islamic rulers used worldly pressures to induce conversion, by imposing tax burdens on non-Moslems and other discriminatory measures.

Posted by Jim on Monday, Nov, 27, 2017 5:44 PM (EST):

Lyle, No government is called anarchy. Isn’t lying to the infidel permissible under Islamic law?? And Mohammad declared that each man may have how many wives??- but decided that didn’t apply to him. It is not quite true that Muslims and Christians believe in the same God. The Christian God is a triune God: The Father, the son(Jesus) and the Holy Spirit are 3 in one God. Muslims do not believe that Jesus is Divine, that he is both God and Man. They do not consider Jesus their savior. Do you believe in the Blessed Trinity Lyle?? You said,“Today, the US assumed Catholic leadership teaches a grave superstition in setting next to the Government, assumed power, teaching a superstition of looking not to God to save us, but to a government.” Salvation comes only through Jesus Christ. The leadership of the Catholic Church in the US teaches nothing else. What does salvation mean to you Lyle??

Posted by Manny on Monday, Nov, 27, 2017 3:59 PM (EST):

What do you mean Lyle, that it never took root in the land Jesus walked? Perhaps it was Eastern Orthodox but it most certainly took root. The Levant region was deeply Christian until the Muslims by the sword forced it otherwise.

Posted by lyle on Monday, Nov, 27, 2017 1:01 PM (EST):

Catholicism never took root, and grew in the region of the World that Jesus walked, nor has it today. Mohammed was orphaned at age six, and come to be a camel guide, meeting many Christians and Jews coming to believe in one invisible God. He learned of the teachings of what was then put together as the Bible with the Old and New Testaments. The Arabs followed Abraham who they believed had built the first shelter over a meteorite, a black stone. The Mohammedan was taught their is One God, to honor parents, to give alms to the poor and to protect the orphan, to speak the truth and giving of full measure. Avoid strong drink. A religion of one True God, is recognized by the Catholic Catechism being of the same God as Catholicism, we are not to fight with our Brothers and Sisters the Islamic. Turning people away from superstition and to God was the greatest obstacle to Islam. Today, the US assumed Catholic leadership teaches a grave superstition in setting next to the Government, assumed power, teaching a superstition of looking not to God to save us, but to a government.
Islam recognizes no government is better than a bad government.

Posted by Albion on Monday, Nov, 27, 2017 4:59 AM (EST):

If Islam, at least in the West, appears to be a religion of peace, it is because Muslims are waiting for their time - when their numbers reach a critical mass in relation to the indigenous peoples - and then they will throw their weight around.
How wonderful it would be if there was a mass conversion of Muslims to Christianity! However, it is hard to corroborate the extent of this phenomenon when defection from Islam attracts persecution at all levels of society.

My understanding is that most Muslims DO revere JESUS CHRIST—-as a “Prophet.” But, for sure, “strict” practicing Muslims want to see the whole world converted to Islam AND they are ready to “kill” for it!....We do see some Muslims even in Florida, but they “seem” to be peaceful. Some Muslim women wear their “sari” but they CANNOT cover their face in public—as is their “custom.”

Posted by Robert Pavlick on Friday, Nov, 24, 2017 12:02 AM (EST):

I think that some churches are being very naive ! I wouldn’t be so sure about these massive conversions; especially when the punishment for leaving Islam is DEATH ! What this tells me is that these are NOT GENUINE CONVERSIONS, but smoke and mirrors so that Muslims can get into European countries and USA easier and with less vetting and then promote Islam once settled in those countries. You know, the Koran authorizes Muslims to lie like this so long as it promotes Islam and makes a fool out of Infidels.

Posted by Robert John Bennett on Thursday, Nov, 23, 2017 6:53 AM (EST):

I’m afraid I’m rather skeptical about these “mass conversions.”

When the government start allowing churches in Saudi Arabia, when the construction of new churches in countries like Turkey and Iran are legal, and when there are no more reports of Christians killed in places like Pakistan, THEN I’ll believe that these conversions are really taking place.

Until that point, I can only hope and pray that there is some truth in what Father Pacwa reports.

The Koran does hold that Jesus was a prophet, but lesser than Muhammad. The Koran also holds that God has no Son. The Koran appears to honor, to revere, to respect, to venerate Jesus and Mother Mary, but in fact, the Koran honors, reveres, respects, venerates imaginary Jesus and Mother Mary that Muhammad made up from his imagination and maybe with help from the one who was posing as the Angel Gabriel. The Koran’s Jesus’ Person is not divine, does not possess both the divine nature and a human nature. The Koran denies that Mother Mary’s Son is Jesus the Christ as Jesus revealed Himself and therefore does not honor, revere, respect, nor venerate Mother Mary. I know the argument is used by many Catholics, and prominent ones too, that the Koran honors both Jesus and Mother Mary. But logic says that one is not honoring nor revering someone while at the same time denying the one. God bless, C-Marie

Dont believe in the conversion numbers, that is some hogwash placed by the Vatican and the Pope who pushed the Europeans to allow the refugees into Europe and washed their feet, imagine the Vicar of Christ washing the feet of someone who refuses to acknowledge our Lord on Holy Thursday, and a woman.

Almost like the Vatican and her leaders desire to be overrun by Islam where the church shed her blood for centuries to fight off this invasion, now we welcome them and kiss their Koran to boot (JPII)

Posted by William Walsh on Monday, Nov, 20, 2017 1:07 PM (EST):

As someone who has lived in places where Muslims were the majority, I am aware both that Islam enforces its supremacy and that Christian minorities have persisted in such countries for more than 1000 years. For example, the laws are inequitable in that while Christian women are permitted to keep their faith if they marry a Muslim man, a Christian man must convert to marry a Muslim woman. In a male dominated society, this is obviously a means of assuring that the children of such unions are raised as Muslims. However, I know that it does not always work and that some Christian wives in such marriages succeed in making their children Christian, usually when their Muslim husband is either indifferent to religion or actually has tacitly agreed to her actions. In the places I lived no dhimmi tax was imposed on Christians, but there were often benefits to conversion if you were a businessman or were seeking certain jobs. Unfortunately, the most common reason that Christians converted to Islam in the places I lived was that it was almost impossible to obtain annulment for Christians there, and they wished to remarry and Islam allows divorce.

I know Muslims who have immigrated to Christian countries and have apparently allowed their children to convert when they have married Christians, including marriages of both sons and daughters. After a generation or so, even Muslim parents born abroad often become convinced by the culture they live in that enforcing religious belief is fruitless or even counter productive. In one family I know there are both children who are very devout Muslims, and others who have converted. A young person who chooses to be a devout Muslim in a Christian country has, I think, made a powerful commitment of a sort that is usually lacking in most people as regards their religious practice. Paradoxically, the fact that their siblings may have converted may have caused them to make a considered choice. I am sure there is conflict in such families of which I am unaware, but one such patriarch answers my questions with a fatalistic shrug, concession that he was powerless and affirmation that the happiness of his child was foremost. I imagine holidays are interesting, and notice that they did celebrate Christmas at least by decoration. He immigrated more than 40 years ago and all his children were born in a western country.

I don’t have any conclusions about the future, but I have always resisted generalizations about Muslims. There are many different kinds of people who are Muslims and their practice and commitment varies a great deal not only from door to door in the same towns, but in the same homes. While Islamic orthodoxy is enforced with great rigor in many places, countries like Saudi Arabia are exceptional in this regard even in the Middle East, where most Muslim countries are far more tolerant.

Not sure where you got the idea that Mongolia is a Muslim country. There is a very small number of ethnic Turkic (Kazakh) Muslims in western Mongolia but the Mongols themselves were never Muslims. There were descendants of the Mongol Golden Horde that conquered many parts of Asia who converted to Islam. The Mughals who ruled parts of India until the British conquest, were examples of such mixed-race people of Mongol descent. They never returned to Mongolia.

Also not sure where you got the name “Father Peter (Butros) Zakariam”. According to the good priest himself, his name is Father Zakaria Boutros. His family name (surname) is Boutros, while Zakaria is his ordination Christian name. His baptismal Christian name was Fayez.

Lyle, For your information I watched a news program on Yemen this evening. The conflict in Yemen is a war between the Sunni Group of Muslims (Saudi Coalition) and Shiite Muslims (Iran). Yes, Saudi Arabia is blockading the ports and has bombed the docks. The US has sent replacement equipment for the docks but the Saudis will not allow it in. An American group is doing what it can to help the victims of this conflict but conditions do not allow the distribution of food. There is malnutrition and starvation but the “extermination of 21 million” which you claim is an exaggeration and distortion. Major starvation and death by disease will be avoided only when peace returns. That is not likely soon as neither Muslim group wants to give in. So Lyle, Don’t go blaming this on the US. Yes it is true the US sells arms to Saudi Arabia, but Iran is the other half of the problem. This thing is a fratricide between 2 Muslim groups which have been at odds with each other since the beginning of Islam. Warring between these groups is and continues to be the major source of poverty in the Mideast. Certainly it is the major cause of death and starvation in Yemen.

yeahhhhhhhh, not sure about this.

We can see that “conversions” happens in other places, such as Germany and Scandinavia, because then it’s easier to get goodies from the government and from duped/ignorant Christians in those countries.

There is mention of conversions resulting from the work of an Orthodox priest and there is mention of Our Lady. Neither of these things suggest conversions to Evangelical Protestantism but other reports suggest that such conversions are very common. It’s obviously impossible to quote figures but I wonder what proportion of these mass conversions are to Catholicism.

Posted by Mary Ann Chimera on Saturday, Nov, 18, 2017 1:00 PM (EST):

This brings to mind the earliest days of the Church as it spread through the Roman Empire in just such a manner. Well, not by a television program, but by people meeting in secret to share the word, baptizing and preaching and courageous preachers bringing the Word.
Just as it took a couple of hundreds of years to emerge into the open in the Roman era, it may take that long today to replace Islam with Christianity throughout those countries. The Lord has shown us that it can be done. We must trust his power to repeat his miracles of faith, of shining his light into the darkness of Islam.
Thanks for sharing the hope.

Islamic religion is the state religion of Saudi Arabia, and Mecca is in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia, the United States, as Britain are part of the coalition that have with USA military arms, blown the poorest of the poor, Yemen back to the stone age. A military operation that destroyed hospitals, schools, and the entry point of food, the port to bring in food to Yemen. During Obama president term the USA sent, gave, sold Saudi Arabia twenty billion dollars in arms used on Yemen in the ongoing war to exterminate twenty Million Humans to death, murder.
When a few million dollars in bountiful excess United States grain, food could have saved these 20 million from starvation. A starvation imposed by the USA in a blockade preventing food, water and humanitarian aid to the people of Yemen. The United States both gives billions to the Islamic, and exterminates, murders the Islamic.
As the United States has exterminated Catholics across America, as in the US take over of Guatemala in 1953 when the US exterminated 200,000 mainly Catholics in the Fruit wars in Guatemala.

The Indonesians in the YouTube video still look and sound outwardly Muslim, yet it is clear they are praying to Our Lord. This is exactly what happened to the Japanese “Hidden Christians” (Kakure Kirishitan). With their faith outlawed, they practiced Catholicism in secret using coded language and by disguising statues of the Blessed Mother to appear like the Boddhisatva Avalokitesvara/Kannon. They did this for 250 years without any priests, with no sacraments except Baptism, from 1614 to 1865. Yet all the while by the Holy Spirit they kept their faith alive in Japan.

It might be an act of Providence that, while Western Europeans and North Americans are abandoning Christianity, new Christian converts are coming from unlikely places, such as the Islamic world and China.
Jesus told a parable about a master who sent out his servants to send invitations to certain people to attend his banquet, but each one made an excuse why he could not come. He then ordered his servants to go out to the highways and byways to invite beggars and cripples to the banquet. This is what I think is actually happening.

Posted by Donald Link on Friday, Nov, 17, 2017 1:31 PM (EST):

A good many more would convert if it were not so dangerous to do so in most Muslim countries. Even in the few countries were there are no official sanctions for conversion, ostracism from the family and community is quite real.
